SFTS displays characteristics of fever, thrombocytopenia, elevated liver function, and leukocytopenia. We described a case of SFTS with leukocytosis due to coinfection with E. coli. Since patients with SFTS usually have leukocytopenia, SFTS patients with leukocytosis are necessarily evaluated for other causes of leukocytosis. Here, we report the first case of an SFTS with concurrent E. coli bacteremia.
